Unit Type: Unit Name: The Sedona Revision Date: 10/13/03 Unit Model Number: ÿ Model: 1-AP002 Instruction Manual Information Maximum Fall Height: 7’-6” The instructions and owner’s manual for your new Playcenter should be read in its entirety before assembly, to minimize problems and safety issues. We recommend reading the owner’s manual thoroughly after you have identified all of the parts for your Playcenter as discussed in the Helpful Installations Hints section below.

Document Number 100-000 Rev. 000 Date 11/06/03 2

Positioning Your Play center

1. The Playcenter is designed to be installed on a level surface. Try to place in a flat area of your yard to minimize ground preparation.

2. Place the equipment not less than 6 ft from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.

3. It is a good idea to place your Playcenter in an area that is convenient for adults to watch children at play.

4. The area that you choose should be policed for glass, rocks or anything jagged or sharp that could endanger your children’s safety. The surface underneath your play system can cause or prevent injuries. We have additional suggestions in the Suggested Playground Surfacing Section.

5. Do not build your playset on top of surfacing material. Anchoring Instructions Anchoring instructions are included in the installation instructions along with 6 wooden anchoring stakes for normal installations. Adventure Playsets has for sale an optional accessory, Anchor It kit, which should be used if the Playcenter is to be used in sandy soil. The kit includes 4 powder coated anchors, fully illustrated plans, and all the hardware required for installation. For information on how to purchase this kit call 1-800-856-4445. Tools Required for Installation:

1. 3/8” Drill 2. 5/16” and 3/8” Drill bits 3. 7/16” Box Wrench or 3/8”-drive socket 4. Two ½” Box Wrenches or 3/8”-drive sockets 5. 3/8”-drive ratchet or 3/8”-drive socket adapter for drill if sockets are used 6. #2 and #3 Phillips bit for drill (preferred) or #2 and #3 Phillips screwdriver 7. Flat screwdriver 8. Tape measure 9. Level 10. Hammer 11. Allen Wrench (included with hardware) 12. An Adult Helper

Helpful Installation Hints

1. Identify all of the parts for your Playcenter. Empty each box and lay out boards so you can see each part. Your instruction book will have detailed drawings that will make it easy for you to recognize individual parts. Keep all hardware and metal parts separate from wooden pieces.

2. After everything is laid out, check carefully to ensure all parts are present. Make sure there are no broken boards.

Document Number 100-000 Rev. 000 Date 11/06/03 3

3. Find an area to sort your hardware. It is best to open the hardware on a solid surface so that you do not lose any pieces in the grass. This will save time and familiarize you with all the different pieces in the hardware bag.

4. Important note: Wood has some natural defects such as knots, surface cracks, etc… We reject parts that are structurally defective. We use a high quality lumber in our structures; however, you should inspect each part for splinters or rough spots and sand them smooth to prevent injury.

5. After steps 1 thru 4 have been completed, read all the way through the instructions completely. Reading instructions after you have studied the parts will help you understand more clearly the installation process, and help to eliminate unnecessary mistakes.

6. Pay close attention to the diameter and length of each bolt and screw. There will be different sizes in the same bag, so they must be sorted correctly.

7. Swing hangers should be buried past the threads, so that the loop is against the swing beam. Adventure Playsets is not responsible for incorrect installations of swing hangers. Failure to properly install swing hangers may cause severe injury.

8. Never tighten hardware completely at first. It helps to have some adjustment for bolt alignment while you are attaching parts together. After everything is square, tighten each joint.

9. After the main unit is assembled it is critical that the floor is level and square. If the main frame is not level, the walls and floor will be out of square.

10. After you complete installation, make sure every bolt, screw, and nut is tight, and every board is secure. Wood will expand and contract with the seasons. Check all bolt connections and swing hangers every two weeks.

Suggested Playground Surfacing

q Playground equipment should never be placed on hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.

q Shredded bark mulch, wood chips, fine sand and fine gravel, are added as shock absorbing materials after assembly. If used properly these materials can absorb some of the impact of a child’s fall.

q All surface material should extend a minimum of 6 feet in all directions around the play area.

Document Number 100-000 Rev. 000 Date 11/06/03 4

*This data is from tests conducted by independent testing laboratories on a 6-inch depth of uncompressed shredded tire samples produced by four manufacturers. The tests reported critical heights,

which varied from 10 feet to greater than 12 feet. It is recommended that persons seeking to install shredded tires as a protective surface request test data from the supplier showing the critical height of the

material when it was tested in accordance with ASTM F1292.

This information is intended to assist you in comparing the relative shock absorbing properties of various materials. Each material is only effective when it is properly maintained at the proper depths determined necessary for your equipment. Operating Instructions: NOTE: Your children’s safety is our #1 concern. Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury. Please review these safety rules regularly with your children.

1. This Playcenter is designed for the use of 3 occupants who have a combined weight not exceeding 280 pounds.

2. On-site adult supervision is required. 3. Instruct children not to walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving

swings or other moving playground equipment. 4. Instruct children to sit in and never stand on swings 5. Instruct children not to twist the chains and ropes and not to loop them over the

top support bar, since this may reduce the strength of the chain or rope. 6. Instruct children not to jump from swings or other playground equipment in

motion. 7. Instruct children to not push empty seats. The seat may hit them and cause

serious injury. 8. Instruct and teach children to sit in the center of the swings with their full weight

on the seats.

Document Number 100-000 Rev. 000 Date 11/06/03 5

9. Instruct children not to use the equipment in a manner other than intended. 10. Instruct children to always go down slides feet first. Never slide headfirst. 11. Instruct children to look before they slide to make sure no one is at the bottom. 12. Instruct children to never run up a slide, as this increases their chances of falling. 13. The parents should have the children dress appropriately with well- fitting shoes.

Loose clothing such as scarves and ponchos should not be worn. Always take off, tie up or tuck in cords and drawstrings on children’s clothing. These things can get caught on playground equipment and strangle a child.

14. Instruct children not to climb when the equipment is wet. 15. Instruct children to never jump from a fort deck. They should always use the

ladder, ramp or slide. 16. Instruct children to never crawl or walk across the top of monkey bars. 17. Instruct children to never crawl on top of a fort roof. 18. Verify that any suspended climbing ropes, chain, or cable are secured at both ends

and that they cannot be looped back on it. 19. Instruct children not to attach items to the playground equipment that are not

specifically designed for use with the equipment, such as, but not limited to, jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables and chain as they may cause a strangulation hazard.

Maintenance Instructions:

1. Check all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage season and tighten as required. (But not so tight that you crack the wood) We recommend you check the swing beam and hardware every two weeks due to wood expansion and contraction. It is particularly important that this procedure be followed at the beginning of each season.

2. Remove plastic swing seats and take indoors or do not use when the temperature drops below 32 °F.

3. Oil all metallic moving parts monthly during the usage period. 4. Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges twice monthly during usage season

to be certain they are in place. Replace when necessary. It is especially important to do this at the beginning of each new season.

5. Check swing seats, ropes, cables and chains monthly during usage season for evidence of deterioration. Replacement should be made of any swing seat that has developed cracks in the plastic seats or has exposed metal in the edges of the swing seat. If there are already exposed metal inserts on the edge of the seat, immediately remove the seats and chains to prevent serious injury. Ropes, cables and chains should be removed and replaced if excessive wear is found. Contact Adventure Playsets for replacement parts.

6. For rusted areas on metallic members such as monkey bars, hand supports, brackets, etc., sand and repaint, using a non lead-based paint meeting the requirements of Title 16 CRF Part 1303.

7. Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood sometimes will lift in the dry season causing splinters to appear. Light sanding may be necessary to maintain a

Document Number 100-000 Rev. 000 Date 11/06/03 6

safe playing environment. If you are treating your Playcenter with stain regularly, it will help prevent severe checking/splitting and other weather damage.

8. We recommend treating the wood components once or twice a year depending on the type of weather you have and when sanding has been required to maintain a good surface. We treat our wood with a waterborne transparent stain.

9. Creating and maintaining the Playcenter on a level location is very important. As your children play, your Playcenter will slowly dig its way into the soil, and it is very important that it settles evenly. Make sure the play set is level and true once each year or at the beginning of each play season.

Disposal Instructions:

When the Playcenter use is no longer desired, it should be disassembled and disposed of in such a way that no unreasonable hazards will exist at the time the unit is discarded.

APPENDIX A Information on Playground Surfacing Materials: The following information is from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Information Sheet for playground surfacing material Also see the following website for additional information: www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/323.html. X3. CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS11

X3.1 The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that about 100,000 playground equipment-related injuries resulting from falls to the ground surface are treated annually in U.S. hospital emergency rooms. Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be among the most serious of all playground injuries, and have the potential to be fatal, particularly when the injury is to the head. The surface under and around playground equipment can be a major factor in determining the injury-causing potential of a fall. It is self evident that a fall onto a shock-absorbing surface is less likely to cause a serious injury than a fall onto a hard surface. Playground equipment should never be placed on hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt and while grass may appear to be acceptable it may quickly turn to hard packed earth in areas of high traffic. Shredded bark mulch, wood chips, fine sand or find gravel are considered to be acceptable shock absorbing surfaces when installed and maintained at a sufficient depth under and around playground equipment. X3.2 Table X3.1 lists the maximum height from which a child would not be expected to sustain a life-threatening head injury in a fall onto four different loose-fill surfacing materials if they are installed and maintained at depths of 6, 9, and 12 in. However, it should be recognized that all injuries due to falls cannot be prevented no matter what surfacing material is used. X3.3 It is recommended that a shock absorbing material should extend a minimum of 6 ft in all directions from the perimeter of stationary equipment such as climbers and slides. However, because children may deliberately jump from a moving swing, the shock absorbing material should extend in the front and rear of a swing a minimum distance of 2 times the height of the pivot point measured from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting structure. X3.4 This information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-absorbing properties of various materials. No particular material is recommended over another. However, each material is only effective when properly maintained. Materials should be checked periodically and replenished to maintain correct dept as determined necessary for your equipment. The choice of a material depends on the type and height of the playground equipment, the availability of the material in your area, and its cost. 11This information has been extracted from the CPSC publications “Playground Surfacing — Technical Information Guide” and “Handbook for Public Playground Safety.” Copies of these reports can be obtained by sending a postcard to: Office of Public Affairs, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, D.C., 20207 or call the toll-free hotline: 1-800-638-2772. The American Society for Testing and Materials takes no position respecting the validity of any parent right asserted in connection with any item mentioned in this standard. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such parent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, are entirely their own responsibility. The standard is subject to revision at any time by the responsible technical committee and must be reviewed every five years and if not revised, either approved or withdrawn. Your comments are invited either for revision of this standard or for additional standards and should be addressed to ASTM Headquarters. Your comments will receive careful consideration at a meeting of the responsible technical committee, which you may attend. If you feel that your comments have not received a fair hearing your should make your views known to the ASTM Committee on Standards. 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA 19428.
